Signings players under 25 policy of ours

[ghostrider]

What I'm saying is this Ghost; the club wouldn't announce an under 25/26 policy, even if they were going for just that. So no, I doubt you will find anything official about it. Just because the club hasn't said anything publicly about it doesn't mean it's not true or plain to see. But when Carr was here that seemed to be the obvious strategy for many years.

Ok that's fair enough but it's speculation based on seeing certain players signed rather than anything set in stone, right?
That's all I wanted to know.

It's a forum for debate mate, as well as just majority acceptance and you can't debate without opposing views.

we borrowed more players under sheppard than ash ever has

i m sure i remeber about 4 a season
klivert babbyaro and a couple of others the seson we brough boumsong

clarke and a couple of loands and frees the season we brought michael owen and luque (money well spent)
then i think the year we signed martins we had 4 or five loans and a free agent
wasnt it 03/04 we didnt buy any players just loans and free transfers

This is just drivel....

It was obvious, and at the time you championed the strategy! Overall it's not a bad idea...but meant we were lacking in prem experience which we could have procured...as said, we've given up signing anyone these day's.

There is a world of difference between signing somebody on loan and signing somebody on a free transfer....

I agree. You keep saying it doesn't make it more true than it already is though. And you do like to say it a lot.

It also doesn't make it a lie, either and is why a debate carries on.
It's a catch 22 situation that creates the debates.
If we all knew the absolute truth then debates cease to exist.

Nobody knows anything official about under 26's.
I ask a few questions about it but cannot do anything other than speculate that we didn't have that policy, as it could have been one behind closed doors.

Where I can claim the high ground would be in asking for something official from those who claim as fact of it being a case.
Does anyone claim it as fact or is it just speculation?

You are a conspiracy freak...when did facts ever matter to you?

Let him make his banal statements. We know - for a fact - that for a long time we only signed U26's and tried to sell them on for profit. Whether or not he needs Ashley to confirm this to believe it is not our problem.
